That is how Euler capital letters are supposed to look. It imitates the handwriting of mathematicians, which is upright and not italic. I do not know if there is a font that contains italic capital greek letters to match euler.

As you say, the hardwritten appearance is a feature of the euler fonts,
and I don't think you can find a matching font elsewhere. Hermann Zapfs
design is so distinctive that everything else will look out of place.

Best wishes,
Taco
